Ok, here it is finally. A few of you have requested this procedure so here it is. As I said in the video I normally use a different method of removing the hub from the bearing assembly by using a slide hammer. I also normally use a press to reinstall the hub into the new bearing instead of hitting it with a hammer. Life is not perfect and we sometimes have to improvise as I did here. I know a few of you will ask about the size fasteners that I used to hammer the bearing out, I used hardened (8.8) 10×1.25 bolts to do the job. I also promised links to the other videos that relate to this one so here they are. “Oops, Axle Ball Joint Replacement” www.youtube.com and also “How to Replace Honda Captive Rotors” www.youtube.com As always you can visit me at EricTheCarGuy.com ericthecarguy.com Thanks again to all that have subscribed and left such great comments on my videos and my channel, you are the best, I mean it.

@TJustice91 It was a 90.
@mylauni1 Buy the bearing yourself and install it yourself as there really is no easier bearing to install, once you get the brake caliper and rotor off all you need do is remove the cap in the center of the hub with a hammer and chisel and remove the nut under it, the whole assembly will come off and all you need do is install the new one and put the brake rotor and caliper back on. It really is that easy.
Hi Eric i hope you can help me…I have a 2003 honda accord ex and i bought it (not knowing it was in an accident) the rear left bearing is now messing up and its making the roaring noise. Took it to Honda dealer and they said $450 (saying the part was $300+150 labor . ive been researching and i dont understand how im getting such diffrent prices to it to my mechanic and he said 160 but i dont want some patch work i want it to be fixed . so my ? is what should i be asking as far as ensuring work
@tmackinator No worries. Yea, my grandfather used to do stuff like that, i just wish I had the time to play like that these days but that does sound like a great project. Thank you for your comments, I really appreciate them.
@EricTheCarGuy You are not confrontational at all. I liked the discussions. Seems I came off bad which was not my intention. Your vids are great. I installed two new axle shafts in the GF’s 97 accord this past weekend and we were discussing just how good your vids were in showing a step by step and why you were doing it the way you were doing it. Thanks for the replies, the discussions were fun. BTW, I made my own shop press, possibly a guy of your skill level would find that a good project!
nice video!!! what year is this accord?
@tmackinator Good point. I know my way is not the only way but when someone suggests I do it another way I just try to inject my opinion of why I may or may not do it the way they suggest, sorry if I came off as confrontational, I know probably more than most that there is often more than one way to get something done. Thanks for your comments.
@EricTheCarGuy You don’t have to heat race enough to even come close to affect the heat treat of the of the spindle. (I heat treating at work all the time) If you want to beat this discussion to death, the small cut in the spindle introduces a point for a stress fracture same as you used to advantage to split the race. In reality I don’t think either scenario will come close to happening. Your vids are first rate and give a lot of guys the confidence to do their on work. Thanks for your reply
@tmackinator I agree on the press part, in fact I hope to get one and show it’s operation but the heating I don’t agree with as you will temper the metal of the hub and in my opinion takes a lot more effort. I do appreciate your input however and like you said, six of one and half a dozen of the other.
This is not criticism of a great video but I would suggest pressing the hub bearing on instead of using a hammer to avoid brinnelling of the bearing race and risking premature failure of the bearing. I would also suggest if a oxy -acetelyne torch is available, to remove thr old race by heat instead of cutting. Six of one and a half dozen of the other. Great video in any case. Thanks for taking time to make it.-TM
@KRBATCHYAHOO Yea, in fact Honda doesn’t make the bearings, I think they are NUK if memory serves.
Eric – Is it OK to use non OEM hubs/bearings for my Accord? If so, which brands have you had good luck with? Thanks for continuing to save me $!
@97shobra Thanks for your comment I really appreciate it. Normally I slide hammer the hub out before I remove the knuckle from the car but in this case the car came in with a broken ball joint so that was not possible. Do it that way and you won’t need the special tool. I hope to make another video showing this at some point.
its started out like some introverted, type A personality car guy who thought he knew more than every one but, great job guy. some times i feel like i have to explain my self and i may do it in a manner that may come off patronizing. great video if you have a honda. i need that tool! its seems pretty uni for most wheel bearings. im doing a saturn. thanks for the vid sir god bless america!
@strodda You can take the bolts out by hand but you may be hitting on the assembly for a while to get the hub/bearing assembly out. Good luck and thanks for the comment.
@D1skittles408 It’s pretty much the same thing minus having to cut the race off of the hub, getting it out of the knuckle will be the tricky part. Thanks for the comment.
Thank you very much for making this video. It was very helpful. I will be ordering a hub an bearing. This car has been through a lot, especially before I owned it, so I’m not taking any chances.
Do I need an airgun or can those 12pt’s from the knuckle be taken out by hand? I don’t have any airtools.
hey Eric quick question, well first off let me just say i appreciate the time you take to inform everyone the little things that count in servicing cars, being as unexperienced as i am when it comes to cars everything u post counts, and today is my lucky day i have a 91 accord and me drive side wheel bearing is bad, i will be replacing the whole hub assembly, other than the rotor and caliper what else needs to come off in order for me to replace the hub assembly? thanks!!
@kapri11212 I actually have a video on finding a bad wheel bearing that you might want to check out but from the sound of it you are probably looking at an axle problem as wheel bearings don’t normally make that type of noise when they go bad.
I have a car that Im repairing a 2006 Nissan Maxima next week, guy said the car has a cliciking noise on the passenger side. He said when he takes off at a low RPM he hears a click noise, he describes it as 2 spoons being hit together. Now I’m guessing it could be a wheel bearing or maybe its the CV joint. I remember I had a click noise in my old chevy when I used to take off. But at the time I was young so I didnt know what it was.
@jackeline152001 Think of a wheel alignment as a “finishing touch” as you cannot align a car with loose suspension parts. The best thing to do is jack up the front wheels and ‘wiggle’ them to check for loose parts, it really is that easy. The alignment is there to help your tires wear evenly and correctly it will not solve problems with suspension noise.
Your videos make me very nervous. Now I am sooo sure I have heard all of these noises in my car. lol. I wanted to mention, I just recently had to replace the tire rods in 2001 Chrysler PT cruiser cause i lost control of the car. I was not on the highway, just making a left turn in a residential area. Anywho, i’m scared that something worse will happen. What do you recommend? Other than the wheel alignment. =D thanks!
@volnick1986 Thank you.
@yuning83 Bolts are fairly easy to find.
I hate special tools, because I never have the one that I need…
